"My success came too easily?" Jacob was amused at the assumption. It was easy for the guy to say.
Did he have any idea how many assassinations Jacob had encountered? Was he aware of Jacob's hardships in Nihonland? Did he f*cking know about Jacob's three-year contract with Nuba?
Nowadays, most people only saw the surface of other people’s successes. They had the impression that everyone else had it easy. It made them envious and bitter.
They had never considered how others had worked hard to overcome their challenges. No one was born successful. If someone wanted to succeed, they had to put in the work and pay the price, regardless of who they were.
This guy only saw the surface. He was jealous of Jacob's success. He was envious of how Jacob had risen to incredible heights in only two years.
